"A Cuca" (1924), by Brazilian modernist painter Tarsila do Amaral, depicts a fantastical creature, possibly a mythical being from Brazilian folklore, alongside a variety of other animal forms. Amaral’s use of bold colors and simplified shapes draws on the Cubist and Surrealist movements, characteristic of her later works. The artwork is known for its playful and whimsical style, capturing the artist's deep connection to Brazilian folklore and landscape.
